Heres a little ditty, “Number 1” of 2 for some second grade teachers. It’s a memory box for the thank you notes that the kids are writing to their teachers. The maple was taken out of a small section of a limb that started to spalt and become worm eaten. See picture below.
The top is a Walnut graft veneer that is laid up on a piece of Western Red Cedar…the remnants of an old guitar top.

Nice box and beautiful wood. I like the inset top and the contrast is fantastic.

The box is simply beautiful and you put some nice wood into the construction.
Well done.

Great treatment and design on the top…isn’t so special when you know you’re working with a special piece of wood and then you put the oil to it and make it “explode”...keeps me coming back for more! nice work
